Camden County Jail is a historic county jail located at Camden, Camden County, North Carolina. It was built in 1910, and is a two-story, nearly square brick building with a high hipped roof in the Colonial Revival style. On the second floor is the iron cellblock or "bullpen," likened to that of a large metal box.[2]

The historic jail is now home to the Camden County Board of Elections and Camden County's Museum. It is open to the public during regular office hours.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
